    I'm a self-taught welder, I have been welding for the last 3 years with MiG, I am saving up for a good TIG machine.
    I love learning new things and this video is awesome, I love watching skilled welders work, and this guy most definitely knows what he is doing.
    Great video and thank you for sharing.

  • @6061
    @6061  Před 6 lety +101

    The pinholes were due to lack of proper cleaning/prep on the main tube. If you pause at the 13:57 mark, you can see some deep scratches and pitting in the tube. The tubing was leftover from a previous project (over 5 years ago) and the surface should've been sanded/finished better before welding (or I should've just ordered new clean tubing). It's an easy fix though- Drill (with approx. 1/4" drill bit) or die grind out the center of the pinhole almost the whole way through the material, clean, and put a good spot weld on top and leak check again.

    Thanks again and God bless you

    Best vids ever. We used to have a guy on our site that was like this guy... awesome trade techniques that blow your mind... he made me a little cross that was all orbital welds. It was tiny and I still have it as a keychain till this day. The welds and cool techniques I used to just sit and watch as I was supposed to be doing my safety inspections.
    Just like the. I could sit and watch all day again on these vids lol. I love it

    Nice fab work. Some years ago I switched over to using the Bacho 6”, 8” and 10”, wide mouth, thin end adjustable wrenches. I haven’t touched any of my old crescents in so long that I should probably sell or give them away to an apprentice. Well, that’s if I could find a decent go getter these days. At any rate, when you need that “damnit, just a little more” on a valve, a nut or whatever, the Bachos never fail to open all the way. The handles are pretty comfy too.
